when the main door was opened\u2014something that would occur regularly during business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Williams concluded that the noise and congregation of patrons near Whyte\u2019s home constituted a <strong>\u201csubstantial interference\u201d<\/strong> with his enjoyment of his property, qualifying as a private nuisance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe music would be loud enough to constitute a substantial interference with the first claimant\u2019s enjoyment of his property,\u201d the judge stated, noting that the bar&#8217;s nature and operations went beyond the &#8220;ordinary use&#8221; expected in a primarily residential neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The other claimants, who lived farther away from the bar and the green space, failed to prove that they suffered comparable levels of disturbance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Their claims, along with the first defendant\u2019s counterclaim seeking compensation for business losses and permit costs, were dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Social Security Board, which originally sold the lands to both parties and later consented to the removal of a residential-use covenant on Galloway\u2019s parcel, was also cleared of liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge found no legal requirement for the board to consult other residents before agreeing to the covenant\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite changes to the area\u2014including small shops and other businesses\u2014the judge noted that <strong>none of those commercial activities involved the same level of noise or late-night gatherings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whyte was awarded $5,000 in legal costs, while the other parties were each ordered to bear their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling makes permanent a temporary injunction first issued in January 2024, and ensures the bar will remain closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
